 SECTION 2 

Allocation of Tax Liabilities and Tax Benefits 

2.1 Liability for and the Payment of Taxes. Except as provided in Section 3.1(b) (Provision of
Information and Assistance), Section 3.2(c) (Provision of Information), and Section 7 (Tax Contests), and in accordance with Section 4, the parties’ liabilities for
Taxes and payment obligations with respect to utilized Tax Benefits shall be as set forth in Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) below. 

(a) Autoliv Liabilities and Payments. For any Tax Year (or portion thereof): 

(i) Autoliv shall be liable for the Taxes (determined without regard to Tax Benefits) allocated to Autoliv pursuant to
Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.2(c) reduced by any Tax Benefits that Autoliv is permitted to utilize under the rules set forth in Section 2.1(c) that are allowable under
applicable Tax Law. 
 (ii) Autoliv shall pay Veoneer for any Tax Benefits arising in any Tax Year, including as a result of
a Tax Contest, that are allocated to Veoneer pursuant to Section 2.2(b) but that are utilized by Autoliv to reduce Taxes for which it is liable. 

(b) Veoneer Liabilities and Payments. For any Tax Year (or portion thereof): 

(i) Veoneer shall be liable for the Taxes (determined without regard to Tax Benefits) allocated to Veoneer pursuant to
Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.2(c) reduced by any Tax Benefits that Veoneer is permitted to utilize under the rules set forth in Section 2.1(c) that are allowable under
applicable Tax Law. 
 (ii) Veoneer shall pay Autoliv for any Tax Benefits arising in any Tax Year, including as a result of
a Tax Contest, that are allocated to Autoliv pursuant to Section 2.2(b) but that are utilized by Veoneer to reduce Taxes for which it is liable. 

(c) Rules for Utilization of Tax Benefits. For purpose of this Section 2, the parties’ rights to utilize
Tax Benefits under Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) shall be determined in accordance with the following rules: 

(i) In general, the party to whom Tax Benefits are allocated pursuant to Section 2.2(b) shall be
entitled to utilize such Tax Benefits to reduce Taxes for which such party is liable pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) or Section 2.1(b)(1). 

(ii) Payment for Tax Benefits described in Section 2.1(a)(ii) shall be made only when and to the
extent that the utilization of such Tax Benefit does not reduce the Tax Benefits otherwise utilizable by Autoliv or the Autoliv Group during the applicable Tax Year, and payment for Tax Benefits described in
Section 2.1(b)(ii) shall be made only when and to the extent that the utilization of such Tax Benefit does not reduce the Tax Benefits otherwise utilizable by Veoneer or the Veoneer Group during the applicable Tax Year.

 (d) Deemed Utilization of Tax Benefits. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any
action taken after the Effective Time by any member of the Veoneer Group (other than the ordinary conduct of the Electronics Business consistent with past practice prior to the Distribution) directly causes any Tax Benefit that is allocated to
Autoliv pursuant to Section 2.2(b) to be reduced, Veoneer shall be deemed to have utilized Tax Benefits allocated to Autoliv to reduce Taxes for which Veoneer is liable for the Stub Period and shall be required to make a
payment to Autoliv pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(ii) with respect to such Tax Benefits. For the avoidance of doubt, any such payment shall not be subject to the limitation in the last sentence of
Section 4.3.

Group that causes Section 355(e) of the Code to apply to either the Internal Reorganization Transactions or the Distribution or that causes Section 355(f) of the Code to apply to the Internal Reorganization Transactions; or 

(B) taking any of the actions prohibited in (or failing to take any of the actions required by)
Section 8.1 or 8.2. 
 (ii) Separation Taxes Allocable to Veoneer. Separation Taxes
shall be allocated to Veoneer to the extent that such Separation Taxes result primarily from Veoneer’s taking any of the actions prohibited in (or failing to take any of the actions required by) Section 8.1,
8.2, or 8.3. 
 (iii) Joint Responsibility for Separation Taxes. Any Separation Taxes not allocated
under Section 2.2(c)(i) or Section 2.2(c)(ii) shall be allocated 80% to Autoliv and 20% to Veoneer.

 (b) Provision of Information and Assistance. 

(i) Information with Respect to Joint Returns. The Non-Preparer shall provide
the Preparer with all information in its possession necessary for the Preparer to properly and timely file all Joint Returns for which such Preparer is responsible pursuant to Section 3.1(a). The Non-Preparer shall provide such information no later than 30 days prior to the extended due date of such Joint Return. If the Non-Preparer fails to provide such information
within the time period provided in this Section 3.1(b)(i) and in the form reasonably requested by the Preparer to permit the timely filing of any Joint Return for which the Preparer is responsible pursuant to
Section 3.1(a), then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Non-Preparer shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the
Preparer’s Group from and against, any penalties, interest, or other payment obligation assessed against any member of either Group by reason of a failure to file such return by its due date (including applicable extensions). If the Non-Preparer provides information within the time period provided in this Section 3.1(b)(i) in the form reasonably requested by the Preparer to permit the timely filing of a Joint Return
for which such Preparer is responsible pursuant to Section 3.1(a) or if the Preparer does not request any such information, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Preparer shall be liable for, and
shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Non-Preparer’s Group from and against, any penalties, interest, or other payments assessed against any member of either Group by reason of a failure to
file such return by its due date (including applicable extensions). 
 (ii) Information with Respect to Estimated Payments
and Extension Payments. The Non-Preparer shall provide the Preparer with all information relating to members of the Non-Preparer’s Group that the Preparer needs
to determine the amount of Taxes due on any Payment Date with respect to a Joint Return for which such Preparer is responsible pursuant to Section 3.1(a). The Non-Preparer shall
provide such information no later than 30 days before such Payment Date. In the event that the Non-Preparer fails to provide information within the time period provided in this
Section 3.1(b)(ii) in the form reasonably requested by the Preparer to permit the timely payment of such Taxes, the indemnification principles of Section 3.1(b)(i) shall apply with respect to any
penalties, interest, or other payments assessed against any member of either Group by reason of a failure to pay such Taxes by the Payment Date. 

(iii) Assistance. At the request of the Preparer, the Non-Preparer shall take
(at its own cost and expense) and shall cause the members of the Non-Preparer’s Group to take (at their own cost and expense), any reasonable action (e.g., filing a ruling request with the relevant
Tax Authority or executing a power of attorney) that is reasonably necessary for the Preparer or any other member of the Preparer’s Group to prepare, file, amend, or take any other action with respect to a Joint Return for which the Preparer is
responsible pursuant to Section 3.1(a). In the event that the Non-Preparer fails to take, or cause to be taken, any such requested action, the indemnification principles of
Section 3.1(b)(i) shall apply with respect to any penalties, interest, or other payments assessed against any member of either Group by reason of a failure to take any such requested action. 

(iv) Information with Respect to Liability for Taxes. At the reasonable request of either Party, the Parties shall
provide whatever documentation, schedules, workpapers, Tax Returns, etc. as may be reasonably required to substantiate a claim made by one Party against the other Party for Taxes or Tax Benefits pursuant to Section 2.1.

 3.2 Separate Returns. 

(a) Tax Returns to be Prepared by Autoliv. Autoliv shall be responsible for preparing and timely filing all Separate Returns that
include Tax Items of the Passive Safety Business (other than Separate Returns described in Section 3.2(b)) determined without regard to Tax Items carried forward to such Tax Year. 

(b) Tax Returns to be Prepared by Veoneer. Veoneer shall be responsible for preparing and timely filing (i) any Separate Returns
that are required to be filed with respect to any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Distribution, and (ii) all Separate Returns that include Tax Items of the Electronics Business determined without regard to Tax Items carried forward to such Tax
Year. 
 (c) Provision of Information. Autoliv shall provide to Veoneer, and Veoneer shall provide to Autoliv, any information about
members of the Autoliv Group or the Veoneer Group, respectively, that the party receiving such information reasonably needs to properly and timely file all Separate Returns pursuant to Section 3.2(a) or (b). Such
information shall be provided within the time prescribed by Section 3.1(b) for the provision of information for Joint Returns. In the event that Autoliv or Veoneer fails to provide information within the time period
provided in Section 3.1(b) and in the form reasonably requested by the other party to permit the timely filing of a Separate Return, the indemnification principles of Section 3.1(b)(i) shall apply
with respect to any penalties, interest, or other payments assessed against any member of the Autoliv Group or the Veoneer Group by reason of a failure to file any such return by its due date (including applicable extensions). 

3.3 Special Rules Relating to the Preparation of Tax Returns. 

(a) General Rule. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Preparer shall have the exclusive right, in its reasonable
discretion, with respect to such Tax Return to determine (i) the manner in which such Tax Return shall be prepared and filed, including the elections, methods of accounting, positions, conventions, and principles of taxation to be used and the
manner in which any Tax Item shall be reported, (ii) whether any extensions may be requested, (iii) whether an amended Tax Return shall be filed, (iv) whether any claims for refund shall be made, (v) whether any refunds shall be
paid by way of refund or credited against any liability for the related Tax, and (vi) whether to retain outside firms to prepare or review such Tax Return. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Veoneer Group pays any Tax to a Tax
Authority other than the IRS that may be claimed as a foreign Tax credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes in a Tax Return for which Autoliv is the party responsible for filing (or causing to be filed), Autoliv shall amend such Tax Returns and
file such claims for credit or refund that Veoneer may reasonably request. In addition, the Preparer shall provide to the Non-Preparer for Non-Preparer’s review and
comment pro forma Tax Returns reflecting the Non-Preparer’s share of Tax Items to be reflected on a Joint Return twenty (20) days prior to the due date of such Joint Return. 

(b) Veoneer Tax Returns. With respect to any Separate Return for which Veoneer is responsible pursuant to
Section 3.2(b): 
 (i) Veoneer may not take, and shall cause the members of the Veoneer Group not
to take (including, without limitation, any such members formed after the date hereof in anticipation of the Distribution), any positions that it knows, or reasonably should know, would be inconsistent with past practices or positions taken by any
member of the Autoliv Group; and 

  
 11 








 (ii) Veoneer and other members of the Veoneer Group must (A) allocate Tax
Items between such Separate Return for which Veoneer is responsible pursuant to Section 3.2(b) and any related Joint Return for which Autoliv is responsible pursuant to Section 3.1(a) that is filed with
respect to the same Tax Year (or with respect to a Tax Year that includes the Tax Year for such Separate Return) in a manner that is consistent with the reporting of such Tax Items on the related Joint Return for which Autoliv is responsible
pursuant to Section 3.1(a), and (B) make any applicable elections required under applicable Tax Law (including, without limitation, under Treasury Regulations
Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)) necessary to effect such allocation. 
 (c) Election to File
Consolidated, Combined, or Unitary Tax Returns. Autoliv shall have the reasonable discretion of filing any Tax Return on a consolidated, combined, or unitary basis, if such Tax Return would include at least one member of each Group and the
filing of such Tax Return is elective under the relevant Tax Law. 
 (d) Carrybacks of Tax Benefits. Veoneer shall not carry back and
utilize as a Tax Benefit in a Tax Year that begins on or before the Distribution Date any Tax Item arising in a Tax Year that begins after the Distribution Date, provided, that, if the carryback of such Tax Item is material and is required by
applicable Tax Law (for example, pursuant to Section 904(c) of the Code), and if Autoliv would be the Preparer of any Tax Return (or Tax Returns) amended to include the carried-back Tax Item, Autoliv shall amend such Tax Return (or Tax Returns)
and file such claims for credit or refund that Veoneer may reasonably request. Veoneer shall reimburse Autoliv for reasonable outside advisor fees incurred in connection with amending such Tax Return (or Tax Returns). With respect to any foreign
Taxes claimed on any such amended Tax Return, Autoliv shall only elect the benefits of the foreign Tax credit under Section 901 of the Code and shall not elect to deduct such foreign Taxes. 

(e) Withholding and Reporting. With respect to stock of Autoliv delivered to any Person, Autoliv and Veoneer shall cooperate (and shall
cause their Affiliates to cooperate) so as to permit Autoliv to discharge any applicable Tax withholding and Tax reporting obligations, including the appointment of Veoneer or one or more of its Affiliates as the withholding and reporting agent if
Autoliv or one or more of its Affiliates is not otherwise required or permitted to withhold and report under applicable Tax Law. 
 (f)
Standard of Performance. Each party shall act reasonably and in good faith in preparing the Tax Returns for which it is responsible pursuant to this Section 3. 

(g) IRS Forms 8858. In each case, the party responsible under applicable law for filing (or causing to be filed) IRS Form 8858 shall
prepare and timely file such forms. 
 3.4 Reliance on Exchanged Information. If a member of the Veoneer Group supplies
information to a member of the Autoliv Group or a member of the Autoliv Group supplies information to a member of the Veoneer Group and an officer of the requesting member intends to sign a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in
reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then a duly authorized officer of the member supplying such information shall certify, to the best of such officer’s knowledge, the accuracy and completeness of the information so supplied. 

3.5 Allocation of Tax Items. Autoliv shall determine in accordance with applicable Tax Laws the allocation of any applicable Tax
Items (e.g., net operating loss, net capital loss, investment Tax credit, foreign Tax credit, research and experimentation credit, charitable deduction, or credit related to alternative minimum Tax) as of the Effective Time among Autoliv,
each other Autoliv Group member, Veoneer, and each other Veoneer Group member. Autoliv and Veoneer hereby agree that in the absence of controlling legal authority each such Tax Item shall be allocated as provided in
Section 2.2. Autoliv shall provide reasonably timely updates of the allocation of Tax Items, as it finalizes its Tax Returns and as adjustments, if any, are subsequently made to such Tax Returns. 

  
 12 








 SECTION 4 

Tax Payments 
 4.1
Payment of Taxes to Tax Authority. Autoliv shall be responsible for remitting to the proper Tax Authority all Tax shown (including Taxes for which Veoneer is wholly or partially liable pursuant to Section 2) on
any Tax Return for which it is responsible for the preparation and filing pursuant to Section 3.1(a) or Section 3.2(a), and Veoneer shall be responsible for remitting to the proper Tax Authority
all Tax shown (including Taxes for which Autoliv is wholly or partially liable pursuant to Section 2) on any Tax Return for which it is responsible for the preparation and filing pursuant to
Section 3.2(b). 
 4.2 Indemnification Payments. 

(a) Tax Payments Made by the Autoliv Group. If any member of the Autoliv Group remits a payment to a Tax Authority for Taxes for which
Veoneer is wholly or partially liable under this Agreement, Veoneer shall remit the amount for which it is liable pursuant to Section 2 to Autoliv within 30 days after receiving notification requesting such amount. 

(b) Tax Payments Made by the Veoneer Group. If any member of the Veoneer Group remits a payment to a Tax Authority for Taxes for which
Autoliv is wholly or partially liable under this Agreement, Autoliv shall remit the amount for which it is liable pursuant to Section 2 to Veoneer within 30 days after receiving notification requesting such amount. 

(c) Credit for Prior Deemed Payments. 

(i) For purposes of Section 4.2(a), the portion of any Taxes paid by Autoliv to a Tax Authority for
which Veoneer is liable will be determined by assuming that Veoneer has previously paid in the aggregate any amounts that the members of the Veoneer Group paid to Autoliv prior to the Effective Time (adjusted, as appropriate and without duplication,
for any additional payments made prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such Taxes as a result of any audit or Tax Contest that was finally concluded prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such Taxes) based on Autoliv’s
calculation prior to the External Distribution of the portion of such Taxes that was allocable to members of the Veoneer Group (as so adjusted with respect to any such Taxes, such payments the
“Pre-Spin Billed Amount”). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that, after the application of the preceding sentence, Veoneer is required to make a payment to Autoliv under
Section 4.2(a) with respect to Taxes relating to Tax Years or portions thereof ending on or prior to the Distribution Date (including, without limitation, as a result of the conclusion after the Distribution Date of a Tax
Contest with respect to a Tax for which there was a Pre-Spin Billed Amount or as a result of a difference between Veoneer’s allocable share of the amount actually shown on the 2014 Joint Federal Return
and the Pre-Spin Billed Amount with respect to the Taxes reported on the 2014 Joint Federal Return), no payment shall be made to account for any errors that were previously made in the calculation of the Pre-Spin Billed Amount. Autoliv’s obligation under this Agreement to provide information relating to the calculation of any Pre-Spin Billed Amount will be governed by
Section 3.1(b)(iv). 
 (ii) For purposes of Section 4.2(d)(i), the
payments that Autoliv is required to make to Veoneer pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii) will be determined by assuming that Autoliv has previously paid Veoneer for any Tax Benefit to the extent that such Tax Benefit was
previously taken into account by Autoliv for purposes of calculating a Pre-Spin Billed Amount. 

  
 13 








 (d) Payments for Tax Benefits. 

(i) If a member of the Autoliv Group utilizes a Tax Benefit for which Veoneer is entitled to payment pursuant to clause
(ii) of Section 2.1(b), Autoliv shall pay to Veoneer, within 15 business days following the utilization of such Tax Benefit, an amount equal to such Tax Benefit. 

(ii) If a member of the Veoneer Group utilizes a Tax Benefit for which Autoliv is entitled to payment pursuant to clause
(ii) of Section 2.1(a), Veoneer shall pay to Autoliv, within 15 business days following the utilization of such Tax Benefit, an amount equal to such Tax Benefit. 

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, a Tax Benefit will be considered utilized (A) in the case of a Tax Benefit that
generates a Tax refund, at the time such Tax refund is received, and (B) in all other cases, at the time the Tax Return is filed with respect to such Tax Benefit or, if no Tax Return is filed, at the time the Tax would have been due in the
absence of such Tax Benefit. The amount of such Tax Benefit will be the amount by which Taxes are actually reduced by such Tax Benefit (determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(c)). 

(e) Withholding Taxes. If any member of the Veoneer Group determines that it is required under applicable Tax Law to withhold Taxes that
are allocated to Autoliv under Section 2.2 in respect of any payment directly or indirectly made by such member of the Veoneer Group to a member of the Autoliv Group, Autoliv shall be deemed to have made payment of such
Taxes to Veoneer for purposes of Section 4.2(b) to the extent of such withholdings. If any member of the Autoliv Group determines that it is required under applicable Tax Law to withhold Taxes that are allocated to Veoneer
under Section 2.2 in respect of any payment directly or indirectly made by such member of the Autoliv Group to a member of the Veoneer Group, Veoneer shall be deemed to have made payment of such Taxes to Autoliv for
purposes of Section 4.2(a) to the extent of such withholdings. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.2(e) shall apply to any withholding taxes imposed on the Cash Distribution. 

4.3 Initial Determinations and Subsequent Adjustments. The initial determination of the amount of any payment that one party is
required to make to another under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of the Tax Return as filed, or, if the Tax to which the payment relates is not reported in a Tax Return, on the basis of the amount of Tax initially paid to the Tax
Authority. The amounts paid under this Agreement will be re-determined, and additional payments relating to such redetermination will be made (subject to the last sentence of this
Section 4.3), as appropriate, if as a result of an audit by a Tax Authority, an amended Tax Return, or for any other reason (a) additional Taxes to which such redetermination relates are subsequently paid, (b) a
refund of such Taxes is received, (c) the party utilizing a Tax Benefit changes, or (d) the amount or character of any Tax Item is adjusted or re-determined. Each payment required by the immediately
preceding sentence (a) as a result of a payment of additional Taxes will be due 30 days after the date on which the additional Taxes were paid or, if later, 15 days after the date of a request from the other party for the payment, (b) as a
result of the receipt of a refund will be due 30 days after the refund was received, (c) as a result of a change in utilization of a Tax Benefit will be due 30 days after the date on which the final action resulting in such change is taken by a
Tax Authority or either party or any of their Subsidiaries, or (d) as a result of an adjustment or redetermination of the amount or character of a Tax Item will be due thirty days after the date on which the final action resulting in such
adjustment or redetermination is taken by a Tax Authority or either party  

  
 14 








 
or any of their Subsidiaries. If a payment is made as a result of an audit by a Tax Authority that does not conclude the matter, further adjusting payments will be made, as appropriate, to
reflect the outcome of subsequent administrative or judicial proceedings. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in any case in which amounts are re-determined pursuant to a
particular event described in the second sentence of this Section 4.3 (a “Redetermination Event”), the parties will be obligated to make additional payments otherwise owed under this
Section 4.3 only if the amount of additional payment resulting from such Redetermination Event exceeds $50,000. 

4.4 Interest on Late Payments. Payments pursuant to this Agreement that are not made by the date prescribed in this Agreement or,
if no such date is prescribed, within fifteen days after demand for payment is made (the “Due Date”) shall bear interest for the period from and including the date immediately following the Due Date through and including the
date of payment at a per annum rate equal to the short-term applicable federal rate pursuant to Section 1274 of the Internal Code. Such interest will be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated on the
basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days for which due. 
 4.5 Payments by or to Other Group Members. When
appropriate under the circumstances to reflect the underlying liability for a Tax or entitlement to a Tax refund or Tax Benefit, a payment that is required to be made by or to Autoliv or Veoneer may be made by or to another member of the Autoliv
Group or the Veoneer Group, as appropriate, but nothing in this Section 4.5 shall relieve Autoliv or Veoneer of its obligations under this Agreement. 

4.6 Procedural Matters. Any written notice delivered to the indemnifying party in accordance with
Section 9.5 shall show the amount due and owing together with a schedule calculating in reasonable detail such amount (and shall include any relevant Tax Return, statement, bill, or invoice related to such Taxes, costs,
expenses, or other amounts due and owing). All payments required to be made by one party to the other party pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made by electronic, same day wire transfer. Payments shall be deemed made when
received. If the indemnifying party fails to make a payment to the indemnified party within the time period set forth in this Section 4, the indemnifying party shall pay to the indemnified party, in addition to interest
that accrues pursuant to Section 4.4, any costs or expenses, including any breakage costs, incurred by the indemnified party to secure such payment or to satisfy the indemnifying party’s portion of the obligation
giving rise to the indemnification payment. 
 4.7 Tax Consequences of Payments. For all Tax purposes and to the extent
permitted by applicable Tax Law, the parties hereto shall treat any payment made pursuant to this Agreement as a capital contribution or a distribution, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Distribution. Under no circumstances shall any
payment (or portion thereof) made pursuant to this Agreement be grossed up to take into account any additional Taxes that may be owed by the recipient (or any of the members of its Group) as a result of such payment. In the event that a Tax
Authority asserts that Autoliv’s or Veoneer’s treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement should be other than as required pursuant to this Section 4.7, Autoliv or Veoneer, as appropriate, shall use its
reasonable best efforts to contest such assertion if the parties reasonably believe that the treatment described in this Section 4.7 is permitted by applicable Tax Law. 

SECTION 5 
 Assistance
and Cooperation 
 5.1 Cooperation. In addition to the obligations enumerated in Sections 3.1(b) and 3.2(c),
Autoliv and Veoneer will cooperate (and cause their respective Subsidiaries to cooperate) with each other and with each other’s agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters, including provision of
relevant documents and information in their possession and making  

  
 15 








 
available to each other, as reasonably requested and available, personnel (including officers, directors, employees and agents of the parties or their Affiliates) responsible for preparing,
maintaining, and interpreting information and documents relevant to Taxes, and personnel reasonably required as witnesses or for purposes of providing information or documents in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to
Taxes. 
 5.2 Supplemental Tax Opinions. Each of the parties agrees that at the reasonable request of the other party (the
“Requesting Party”), such party shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate and use reasonable efforts to) assist the Requesting Party in obtaining, as expeditiously as
reasonably practicable, a Supplemental Tax Opinion from Tax Counsel. Within 30 days after receiving an invoice from the other party, the Requesting Party shall reimburse such party for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such party and the
members of its Group in connection with assisting the Requesting Party in obtaining any Supplemental Tax Opinion. 
 SECTION 6 

Tax Records 
 6.1
Retention of Tax Records. Each of Autoliv and Veoneer shall preserve, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to preserve, all Tax Records that are in their possession and that could affect the liability of any member of the other
Group for Taxes for as long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under applicable Tax Law but in any event until the later of (a) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitation as extended,
and (b) seven years after the Distribution Date. 
 6.2 Access to Tax Records. Veoneer shall make available, and cause its
Subsidiaries to make available, to members of the Autoliv Group for inspection and copying (a) all Tax Records in its possession that relate to Tax Years that begin on or before the Distribution Date, and (b) the portion of any Tax Record
in their possession that relates to Tax Years that begin after the Distribution Date and that is reasonably necessary for the preparation of a Joint Return or Separate Return by a member of the Autoliv Group or with respect to an audit or litigation
by a Tax Authority of such return. Autoliv shall make available, and cause its Subsidiaries to make available, to members of the Veoneer Group for inspection and copying (a) that portion of any Tax Record in its possession (redacted to reflect
only the information relating to the members of the Veoneer Group) that relates to Tax Years that begin on or before the Distribution Date and that is reasonably necessary for the preparation of a Separate Return by a member of the Veoneer Group or
with respect to an audit or litigation by a Tax Authority of such return, and (b) workpapers or other documentation relating to the calculation of the Taxes and Tax Benefits that have been allocated to Veoneer pursuant to this Agreement. 

SECTION 7 
 Tax Contests

 7.1 Notices. Each party shall provide prompt notice to the other party of any pending or threatened Tax audit,
assessment or proceeding or other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware relating to (a) Taxes for which it is or may be indemnified by the other party hereunder, (b) the qualification of any of the Internal Reorganization Transactions as a
reorganization described under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and/or 355 of the Code, or (c) the qualification of the Contribution and the Distribution together as a reorganization described under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and/or 355 of the Code. Such
notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such
matters. If (a) an indemnified party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be indemnified hereunder, (b) such party fails to give the  


  
 16 








 
indemnifying party prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability, and (c) the indemnifying party has the right, pursuant to Section 7.2(a), to control the Tax
Contest relating to such Tax liability, then (i) if the indemnifying party is precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the indemnifying party shall have no obligation to indemnify
the indemnified party for any Taxes arising out of such asserted Tax liability and (ii) if the indemnifying party is not precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a monetary
detriment to the indemnifying party, then any amount that the indemnifying party is otherwise required to pay the indemnified party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment. 

7.2 Control of Tax Contests. 

(a) General Rule. Except as provided in the following sentence or in Section 7.2(b), each party (or the
appropriate member of their Group) shall have full responsibility, control, and discretion in handling, settling, or contesting any Tax Contest involving a Tax reported on a Tax Return for which it is responsible for preparing (or causing to be
prepared) pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Veoneer may not take, and shall cause the members of the Veoneer Group not to take (including, without limitation, any such members
formed after the date hereof), any position in a Tax Contest that it knows, or reasonably should know, would have a material adverse effect on any member of the Autoliv Group. 

(b) Non-Preparer Participation Rights. With respect to a Tax Contest of any Tax Return that
involves a Tax Item for which the Non-Preparer may be liable (in the case of Tax Items that increase Tax liability) or that is allocated to the Non-Preparer (in the case
of Tax Benefits) under this Agreement (a “Non-Preparer Party Item”), (i) the Non-Preparer shall, at its own cost and expense, be entitled to
participate in such Tax Contest, to the extent it relates to a Non-Preparer Party Item; (ii) the Preparer shall keep the Non-Preparer reasonably informed and
consult in good faith with the Non-Preparer and its Tax advisors with respect to any issue relating to a Non-Preparer Party Item; (iii) the Preparer shall provide
the Non-Preparer with copies of all correspondence, notices, and other written materials received from any Tax Authority and shall otherwise keep the Non-Preparer and
its Tax advisors advised of significant developments in the Tax Contest and of significant communications involving representatives of the Tax Authority to the extent related to a Non-Preparer Party Item;
(iv) the Non-Preparer may request that the Preparer take a position in respect of a Non-Preparer Party Item, and the Preparer shall do so provided that
(A) there exists substantial authority for such position (within the meaning of the accuracy-related penalty provisions of Section 6662 of the Code), (B) the adoption of such position could not reasonably be expected to increase the
Taxes or reduce the Tax Benefits allocated to the Preparer pursuant to Section 2 (unless the Non-Preparer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Preparer from such increase in
Taxes or reduction in Tax Benefits), and (C) the Non-Preparer agrees to reimburse the Preparer for any reasonable third-party costs that are attributable to the
Non-Preparer’s request; (v) the Preparer shall provide the Non-Preparer with a copy of any written submission to be sent to a Tax Authority to the extent
related to a Non-Preparer Party Item prior to the submission thereof and shall give good faith consideration to any comments or suggested revisions that the Non-Preparer
or its Tax advisors may have with respect thereto; and (vi) there will be no settlement, resolution, or closing or other agreement with respect to the Non-Preparer Party Item without the consent of the Non-Preparer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 7.3 Cooperation. The Non-Preparer shall provide a party controlling any Tax Contest pursuant to Section 7.2(a) with all information relating to the Non-Preparer’s
group that the party controlling the Tax Contest needs to handle, settle, or contest the Tax Contest. At the request of a party controlling any Tax Contest pursuant to Section 7.2(a), the other party shall take any action
(e.g., executing a power of attorney) that is reasonably necessary for the party controlling the Tax Contest to handle, settle, or contest the Tax Contest. Veoneer shall assist Autoliv, and Autoliv shall assist Veoneer, 


  
 17 








 
in taking any remedial actions that are necessary or desirable to minimize the effects of any adjustment made by a Tax Authority. The indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for
any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in complying with this Section 7.3. The party controlling the Tax Contest shall have
no obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for any additional Taxes resulting from the Tax Contest if the indemnified party fails to cooperate in accordance with this Section 7.3. 

SECTION 8 
 Restriction
on Certain Actions of Autoliv and Veoneer 
 8.1 General Restrictions. Following the Effective Time, Autoliv and Veoneer
shall not, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups not to, take any action that, or fail to take any action the failure of which, (a) would be inconsistent with any of the Internal Reorganization Transactions qualifying, or
preclude any of the Internal Reorganization Transactions from qualifying, as a reorganization described under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and/or 355 of the Code; (b) would be inconsistent with the Contributions and the Distribution together
qualifying, or preclude the Contributions and the Distribution together from qualifying, as a reorganization described under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and/or 355 of the Code; (c) would result in the recognition of gain under either

right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. Any consent provided under

to disclose any information in connection with the execution of this Agreement or its preparation, it being expressly understood that no party shall ever assert any failure to disclose information on the part of the other party as a ground for
challenging this Agreement.
